In every school there is “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, if the crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters, then very soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters.
There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red sweater is really unsuitable.
The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink and to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the slaughter(屠杀).
Now it’s possible that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact you probably did something you knew to be wrong one time or another. You may have excused yourself by saying, “ Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No”.
Develop your own standards(标准)and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, you’d better take the courage to bow out in a polite way. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.

Do you know that each child in school catches six to ten colds every year? Though there is no cure (治愈)for colds, there are some suggestions for you to avoid getting a cold.
First, you can avoid catching a cold by practicing healthy habits. Begin by eating healthy foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink milk and juice. Other healthy habits include getting plenty of sleep at night and lots of exercise.
Next, you should try to avoid contact with the viruses （病毒）that cause colds. If you can, stay away from large crowds. When people cough(咳嗽) and sneeze(打喷嚏), the cold virus goes into the air. Do not share a drinking cup, fork, or spoon with someone else because that could spread the virus.
Washing you hands is also a good way not to catch a cold. The cold virus may be on the things like telephones and money. Shaking another person’s hand could even spread the virus. By washing your hands, you can stop the virus from infecting(传染).
Following the suggestion above until doctors find a way to stop the viruses that cause colds.

There’s one language that is used in every country in the world. It’s everyone’s second language. It’s easy to be understood, although you can’t hear it. It’s sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is crossing the street, you’re using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you’re saying, “I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies can point at things. They’re using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop the traffic holds up his hand. He’s using sign language, too.
Sign language is a bridge between the deaf and non-disabled people. They use the movement of the hand, arms or body to express a speaker’s thoughts.
Today, in many countries, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The news reporter tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen. The actors in the theater for the deaf often use their hands to show what they want to say. They can make a roof with their hands over their heads when they want to show “house”. One finger over a person’s mouth can mean “quiet”. You can talk to people behind closed windows. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have a talk under water with sign language.

There is an unusual holiday in the US that falls on the fourth Thursday of April every year. It is very different from Christmas, Thanksgiving, or other well-known holidays. It is called Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This holiday is meant to be educational as well as fun. The idea is simple, and the name says it all. It is a day for working parents to show their kids what they do all day.
Although this holiday doesn’t seem very complex(复杂的), it has meaningful purposes. There are many
good reasons why a child should know what his or her parents do at work. For one thing, it is hard for children to understand the life of an adult when all they know is school. Therefore, this holiday helps children learn what it means to have a job. It also helps them learn about the differences and similarities between their world and the grown-up world. When young people know more about their parents’ lives, they can form stronger parent-child relationships. This alone is worth a day of celebration.
1.This year’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day falls on _____ .
2.The underlined part in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___ .
A.every holiday needs a name
B. the name says it is known to all
C. the name explains the idea clearly
D. it is very different from Christmas
3.The writer thinks the holiday is ____.
A.usual B. simple C. complex D. meaningful
